Corruption and impunity from prosecution lie at the heart of Greek's debt crisis, Prime Minister George Papandreou said on Monday, calling on citizens to stomach the pain required to put the country back on track.

The crisis in our country is not limited to our fiscal problem. It is only the tip of the iceberg, Papandreou said at a cabinet meeting. It is extremely urgent to deal with it because it has assumed dramatic dimensions.

Following ongoing concerns of hackers interfering with the 2016 Presidential election, President Barack Obama has called for a complete report into hacking efforts that took place during the election cycle.
